Here's how it worked:
* Stylus: This was a wedge-shaped tool made from reed, bone, or metal.
* Clay tablets: They pressed the stylus into soft clay tablets, creating wedge-shaped impressions.
* Cuneiform: These impressions formed the cuneiform script, which is made up of wedge-shaped marks.
The Sumerians developed cuneiform around 3500 BCE, and it was used for writing for over 3,000 years!
